No rear entry: Electronics

Locks perfect, holds well, my only complaint is that there is only a side and bottom entry so little additional hardware is needed to wire by code.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Not the best

Do not buy!: Electronics

No embossing on the outside of the back. They hit out from the side. You have to deny that the box is so bad that once wired up you have trouble installing the bezel! Terrible product!@

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • No instructions

Exactly as advertised in electronics

. I changed the socket from TT-30R to 14-30R with no problem. I just wish they would sell either an empty box or a box at 14-30R which would save me $9. Otherwise it was a good buy.

Pros
  • . Impressive
Cons
  • Hard to say

There are no knockouts. in Electronics

I installed this to power my trailer. Upon installation, I found that the plugs that came with it weren't cut out, although I couldn't use them for power. As I tried to knock out a hole, I found I had just crushed the box. I had to get power through the top to even use the box.

Pros
  • Pretty Package
Cons
  • Protection

Very difficult to open in RV Parts & Accessories

The box is well designed but as mentioned in the previous review it is VERY HARD TO OPEN! I couldn't even force the lock open with a screwdriver. I could never open it and it was removed. There was no way to open it once installed. I sent it back and ordered another box which opened with no problem.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Compatibility

You better have a Dremmel

This thing looks great and is rock solid but no dents. I hope I got the perfect 1/2" hole as I didn't have a dremmel and had to flip it. Maybe this imperfect hole isn't causing a water problem? The ground wire in the box is unnecessary. It can't be at a 3" length be used, so just throw it away. Oh, and there are 2 tiny (critical) screws on the front that are very easy to loosen. Next time I'll definitely use a different box.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Good quality. for RV parts and accessories

As with anything else, you never know what to think when you read reviews. The main reason I bought this one is because the body is covered in black so it blends in with my barn. However, this kit appears to be just as good as what is sold at Lowes or elsewhere. I put 3 just for ease of installation because it's hard to work with thick wires at this point. The pre-installed ground wire attached to the ground block needs to be longer. That will make a big difference. Otherwise the installation…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Big and bulky

badly designed, badly designed. You get what you pay for

This drawer was the hardest one I've ever worked on to install. To disassemble the box, you first need 3 different Phillips screwdrivers. To install the pipe I tried knocking out the knockout holes and the side of the box started sagging. When I opened the box and took a closer look, I found that the "knockout holes" were simply knocked out decorations in the metal, with no cutouts. I had to take a hole saw and drill a hole in the box. Upon installation, you'll find that the lid doesn't lock in

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I won't say anything
